Hi Songbird,

I painstakingly collected seeds from my Anaheim (California)
peppers last fall. I followed collection your directions.

It is getting close to planting. I have to risk the
freezes and the hatching earwigs. Too soon the get
frostbite; too late they get eaten.

How many seeds would you plant per hole? I do five with zucchini, but
how many for hot peppers?

Would you add a bit of organic fertilizer, or wait for
them to grow a bit first?

Many thanks,
